Jon BurnsI use Beyer Dynamic DT150 for tracking and they've given me 10 years of service so far!
(Albeit with a little bit of amalgamating tape around the ear foam 😉 )
There weren't so many options then & my method was "what are the cans I've seen in all
the BBC radio videos?"!
They seem pretty flat and clear to me. I've used DT770's & closed back AKGs & Sonys
which were all good - they all did the job just fine.
I prefer open-back for reference & mixing - I use AKG Q701 for that & I've not had
to revisit a mix with them. Be careful to have the bass audible but not huge if
mixing in headphones - that'll translate to ENORMOUS bass on speakers! 🙂
